Case Study:
This case stemmed from a verbal disagreement between Mom and Dad resulting in allegations of neglect, a situation that often raises questions about parents rights against dcf. Mom and Dad had been out to dinner, where Dad attempted to drive Mom home. Mom understood that father had imbibed a few alcoholic beverages and was in no state to drive. After some discussion, Mom decided she was going to leave Dad at the restaurant to be driven by another couple back home. This incident inadvertently triggered the dcf investigation process, highlighting the complexities faced by families during such inquiries. Dad was returned to the home, upon which police arrived.
The police observed disheveled items on the floor, and believed that a domestic disagreement had potentially occurred. The police filed a report and contacted DCF with an allegation of neglect. They believed that since the children were home, the Children were witness to the alleged fight. When DCF responded to the home, Mom and Dad were frustrated and confused. There was no domestic disagreement as the Dad did not return home at the same time as Mom, with Police showing up shortly after him. Mom and Dad felt hopeless when DCF remained persistent that they would keep the case open due to the presumption that there had been a domestic incident. Mom and Dad did not know what to do. Dad had been given a referral to Attorney Seaver by a friend who knew Attorney Seaver was the best in this type of law.
Dad reached out to Attorney Seaver and quickly teamed up with him. Dad and Mom both connected with Attorney Seaver and designed a plan to relieve their worry and fight the allegations. With the help of Attorney. Seaver, the allegations had been reversed and were no longer supported by DCF. This successful fight against DCF demonstrated Attorney Seaver’s expertise in handling such cases. There was no way that DCF could continue to support the allegations after Attorney Seaver presented the case. Attorney Seaver disproved the domestic disagreement based on the circumstances, and showed that Mom and Dad loved each other and their kids. The case was closed quickly, and everyone went home happy.
